Product Description

This handcrafted Jianshui purple pottery steam pot features an elegant orchid motif created using traditional inlay carving techniques, where engraved lines are carefully filled to form a refined, lasting design. Made from natural red clay and shaped entirely by hand, this steam pot reflects the balance of function, artistry, and heritage found in authentic Jianshui caly.

Unlike modern cookware, the Jianshui pottery steam pot is a traditional vessel passed down through generations, designed to gently steam soups, broths, and herbal dishes using natural condensation. The pottery body distributes heat evenly, helping ingredients retain their original flavor, aroma, and nutritional value without direct contact with boiling water.

This steam pot is available in three size options, making it suitable for personal use, family meals, or gatherings:

• 2000ml – Ideal for 2–3 people, perfect for small family meals

• 2700ml – Designed for 4–6 people, suitable for family use

• 3800ml – Ideal for 5–7 people, great for larger family gatherings

Important Use Note:
This steam pot is designed for traditional indirect steaming and should not be placed directly over an open flame. Always use it with a water-filled outer pot or steamer setup.
